Wacom Intuous Tablet Driver SCCM deployment

Friday 24 February 2017 at 3:11 pm

UPDATE - As from version 6.4 there are official install switches, listed in this article: https://developer-support.wacom.com/hc/en-us/articles/9354508643479-Installer-Command-Line-Parameters

I've been using /s for silent, and /opt OperatingModeEnterprise which gets rid of all the startup stuff.

I was tasked with installing drivers for Wacom Intuous graphics tablet to multiple rooms/computers which has always been a manual job.  Today I found it can be done via SCCM or other deployment tool.  The driver I used was the Universal Driver 6.3.17-3, although they all look pretty similar.  Steps were as follows:

• Use 7zip to extract the installation files from the downloaded .exe
• Use the silent switches (discovered by accident/guesswork) to run on your favourite deployment system
• SETUP.EXE -SILENT -NORESTART
• Detection method for SCCM (I'm sure there are loads, but this was the first one I found, and it works, so why look further?)
• Registry HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Wacom Tablet Driver\DisplayVersion = 6.3.17-3

That's it.
